We are excited to announce that in the last week of this term, all families will have the invaluable opportunity to participate in our Student, Parent/Caregiver, and Teacher Conferences also referred to as Three-Way Conferences. These conferences serve as a vital platform to discuss your child's progress across all curriculum areas, as detailed in the mid-year reports, which will be posted on COMPASS the week prior.
Conferences will be held from 8:45 am to 4:45 pm, providing ample time for families to schedule a convenient time. Each year level has a designated day for conferences, ensuring a streamlined and organised process. Families can book their interviews through an online booking system.
A unique feature of these conferences is the active participation of students. Students will be present to reflect on their learning journey and share their goals with families. These goals typically encompass reading, writing, and a particular area of mathematics. In the younger years, students will receive support from their teachers to articulate their progress and aspirations effectively.
The conference will be divided into two segments:
Student Presentation (5 mins): Students will have an opportunity to showcase their achievements and goals to their parents with guidance from their teachers.
Parent-Teacher Discussion (10 mins): Parents will engage in a private discussion with their child's teacher to delve deeper into their child's progress, areas of strength, and areas needing improvement. Parents can also choose to have their child present for the entire interview.
At RPS we believe that student, teacher, and parent conferences are crucial for fostering a collaborative learning environment. By involving students in these discussions, we empower them to take ownership of their learning journey and cultivate a sense of responsibility for their academic achievements.
Additional details regarding booking procedures and guidelines for participating in conferences with your child and teacher will be distributed via COMPASS. We encourage all families to make the most of this opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations about their child's education.
We look forward to welcoming you to our Parent, Teacher, and Student Conferences and continuing our journey of academic partnership.
